We host 45 Minute Lectures given by the most interesting people in sacramento

Here’s what people are saying about us

we believe…

That scientists should be treated like rock stars

That learning something new is ludicrously fun

In putting our screens down and creating real community

In the transformative power of art, science, and sharing new ideas

In supporting local businesses, and building local communities

In not taking ourselves too seriously
